So Kas wanted to write a song that sounded like what Utopia would sound like today. Boy, did he nail it. This is already in my top 10 favorite songs of all time list. It is just genius.
Thank you, Kasim for giving us this song! The vocals and harmonies are surely Utopian. I often thank a higher being for bringing you and Todd together. My life is the richer for it.
What an incredible and immediately recognizable voice. He somehow sounds as if he's just talking with you, telling you a story, yet conveys the melody in such a pure fashion.
This is truly beautiful Kasim. You need to make a record with Roger, Willie, and Todd; for the cosmos of music. The time is right and i can hear your souls are there. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain. I really hope you guys do something brother.
This song is so freaking amazing! It stirs my soul. I just discovered "The Clocks All Stopped" this past week ..and bought it on iTunes immediately. I must have shared the song with about a dozen people already. I only started doing research on Kasim after I learned it was him, not Todd, on lead vocals of "Set Me Free." They sound alike at times. Signed, me, a new fan, spreading the word. I also love Kasim's "Don't Break My Heart" from the early 80's. The song charted on CHUM AM's Top 30 in Toronto, back then. Wish it was on iTunes too. I love this guy!
I've been looking for this song for so long since I heard it on the radio, so glad I found it. It's a great song, feels kind of nostalgic in a way even though I only heard it a year ago.
I can't remember another album that touched me as profoundly on many levels. "3" is amazing, as is "Quid Pro Quo", Kasim's most recent previous solo effort. How wonderful to hear Roger and Todd together with Kasim. The liner notes for 3 say that it was intentionally NOT written to sound like a Utopia album, with the exception of "Clocks All Stopped" which was. At any rate, the whole album is solid, and a must for any fan of Utopia or Kasim's work.
When I first saw Utopia in 79 at Knebworth Adventures had just come out and I was already a fan . Not everything was Todd even though he was the lead man. The solo Lps the Utopia guys have made are really good. My problem is I cant get a bloody copy of this CD in the Uk since it came out! So I just have to keep listening to abeautiful arranged song on here!
I didn't know Roger & Todd were on this cuz I was thinkin' man they sure got the Utopia sound down.Beautiful.I only wish Willie had been on the session.
Kasim with Todd in the background vocals . Unmistakable Utopia sound.Love it altho I’m a bit late discovering it! More like this please if you’re out there listening with Todd👍
I don't know this!!! I know Kasim from His work with Utopia. I can hear the obvious Utopia influences in the song which wants me to delve a little deeper. Somehow, knowing what great musicians the band were, I don't think I'm going to be disappointed. See You on the other side.
Any background on the video itself? I learned that Kasim's wife of 30 years died in 2011, in New York. The cemetery hear appears to be the west coast....
This song is just amazing, easily one of my all-time favourites. I like the nostalgic guitar riff, and Kasim's singing is great! Only, what's up with this video? My eyes get tired from watching, it has kinda weird colours and shaky framerate...
Kasim, I don't know if you read these but I met you in toronto (i was the youngest guy there heh) and if you do somehow see this, please upload more on this channel! please explain the chords of umbrella man to me and make a video with music tips! explain how to have a perfect choir boy voice, and how to play bass and piano as well as you do!
My mother passed away last week. I think she found this song for me last night. Thank you Kasim....

I'm 16! Kasim and Todd are my heroes! I love 3 :D
You're 20, now. Rock on!
Pure pop masterpiece. Utopia is still here.
Consummate bassist and such a distinctive vocalist. I was a fan from the first time I heard Utopia's "Set Me Free" in 1980. Thank you, Kasim.
Same thing here in 1980 I heard Set Me Free on American Bandstand, and so the people danced..
What a great song. Great job Kas!
Thank you, Kasim for giving us this song! The vocals and harmonies are surely Utopian. I often thank a higher being for bringing you and Todd together. My life is the richer for it.
Love this sweet song. Love Kasim! Thank you for this gift. It makes me feel ❤😂 happy! xo
My favorite of Kaz's solo work.
One of the most talented Artists ever... I Love the song, the Voice... The whole package!
Kas
Is one of the most unquie bass player keybordest guitar player I have ever had the pleasure to listen too.
What an incredible and immediately recognizable voice. He somehow sounds as if he's just talking with you, telling you a story, yet conveys the melody in such a pure fashion.
Thanks Kasim for giving us you,Todd, and Roger together again.
The closest thing we're gonna get to Utopia reunion in 2014 :)
Maybe he can change. Maybe he can change the world.

Great song Kasim! It was great seeing you & Utopia in Toronto at Massey Hall in 2018!
Kasim is magic! I can never get enough!
KAZ- you had me thirty-eight years ago, with "Eternal Love"; all these years later, you're still clockin' like nobody's business.
Great song Kasim!!!! Thanks for continuing to add great music into the world

Love it Kasim !!!!....Beautiful track
I love this song! Kas, Todd, Roger, Willie, please come back together again....one more album and tour, at least.... I'm ready. #UtopiaForever
We both know how hard it is to loose our significant other! I feel your pain 😢
what a great song! Love you Brother!

It title is 3 !!!
Such a treat on a day that has been full of surprises, this gem!!! Maybe I Could Change....I Will Wait...and now this one. Beautiful Kas. Thank you!!
Bravo Kasim! What a beautiful song!
Really outstanding. Would have been a major or the lead single on any of the late Utopia albums.
I love this song and I love seeing you strolling around this place in California. I feel that this video is very meaningful to you.
Sounds like I've heard it forever. Nice. :)
Happy New Year Mr. S
Still want to hear that story sometime. Hope to see you in 2024. Best to you and your Family. Thanks again for Austin
Give this song a place in your utopia setlist!!! 😎🤩

Oh hells yes! Beautiful tune, and the time signature change in the middle is killer. Still looking foxy, too! You make me crazy, Kaz!
Superb Kasim.thanks for sharing bro👍some Utopia moments here
3 is fast becoming my most listened to CD. Clocks All Stopped is just the tip of the iceberg! Love, love, love 3 !!!
I didn't know Roger & Todd were on this cuz I was thinkin' man they sure got the Utopia sound down.Beautiful.I only wish Willie had been on the session.
What a great song!
I love everything about this song.
RIGHTEOUS !
LOVE this song!! Right out of Utopia in the day:))
Kasim with Todd in the background vocals . Unmistakable Utopia sound.Love it altho I’m a bit late discovering it! More like this please if you’re out there listening with Todd👍
I came across your work recently in Indianapolis. I loved you. Hope to see you again. 🥰
Perfect Pop
This great song is definitely one to hear 'on the road to Utopia'...
Dude ought to be getting mad anime royalties for this. I can SO hear this in the end credits for a series and it would totally make the show.
I wish Todd and you would get together in 2023!
Such a voice...
Love your music Kasim.
Kasim and Todd both = GENIUS IN ACTION
Outstanding!
Get up for Kasim and his nice song, look between the lines. :-)
Very VERY nice!
This is my favorite so far, am now a true fan. Love this 1
Go Kasim! Beautiful, exquisite.
Fantastic!
Beautiful tune, a real whoot.
Great track.. ❤️ Kasim
Great work Kaz!!!!
Listen to this through headphones to get the subtleties of the mix.
Great Song !
Great! Well done brother Kas
it's a FANTASTIC song and an outstanding vocal performance by Kasim. Wonder who the co-writer was?!?!?
I don't know this!!! I know Kasim from His work with Utopia. I can hear the obvious Utopia influences in the song which wants me to delve a little deeper. Somehow, knowing what great musicians the band were, I don't think I'm going to be disappointed. See You on the other side.
So Sweet.....
Pure magic! (As is the entire album!)
Still the sweetest tenor! ❤️ U KASIM sign available for next concert, Kas❤️
Please put Utopia back together for one more album!
So good...
Very nicely done.
Nice how Danny slipped in a photo of Rachel's Dad in the video
UTOPIA、リユナイトだったんだ、この曲のクレジット見ると。
この人たちでしか表現できない世界が、やっぱあるんだよな。
個人的には、Eternal Loveの21世紀版だぁ・・・と思った。
今頃見つけて、目下、めっちゃはまってます。
Homerun Touchdown Goal !!!!!!!!!!!!
BUY IT NOW !!!!
Any background on the video itself? I learned that Kasim's wife of 30 years died in 2011, in New York. The cemetery hear appears to be the west coast....
I think this is Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles--Hollywood Hills. Lot of celebrities are buried there
This song is just amazing, easily one of my all-time favourites. I like the nostalgic guitar riff, and Kasim's singing is great!
Only, what's up with this video? My eyes get tired from watching, it has kinda weird colours and shaky framerate...
Zo mooi
Beautiful song, nicely done. Was that filmed at Forest Lawn?
Kasim you baited Todd Rundgren to play guitar
Kasim, I don't know if you read these but I met you in toronto (i was the youngest guy there heh) and if you do somehow see this, please upload more on this channel! please explain the chords of umbrella man to me and make a video with music tips! explain how to have a perfect choir boy voice, and how to play bass and piano as well as you do!
How did he talk Todd into playing guitar on this piece
Who made the clocks stop
Where can I find tab for both solo's? I love the guitar parts.
7 years and not one response…..wtf
I did it
And talked Todd to play guitar
I did make that one stop
